Access
|
Short walk |
You can get to the Cocos Keeling Islands with a big boat, or take a plane from Perth. The kite beach is east of the airport on the West Island.
Rules |
Other |
Don't walk across the runway of the airport. Keep enough distance.
There is only one pub on the island. If you can't drink like a fish, stay home. This is a serious pub for professionals only. You will drink until you vomit blood and screw someones wife or steal their car. Come prepared to do battle. Don't stay less than a month. This is the real deal.
